187 BLUE - Mother and Daughter

Alexander ran behind Erina to catch up with her so he can see what made her upset, Also, he hoped to pump into Asahi so he can deliver him an anesthesia punch that he won't wake up from for at least two days.

"Erina~" Alexander shouted, "Damn where the hell did she go?" Alexander quickly lost Erina in the maze-like corridors. He took out his mini-map that he was given to help him see where he is"The map is not very useful either, it only shows where my room is."

"Oh! Brother?" Alexander heard his little brother call him from behind. He turned his neck to look at him just to see him with a could and an afro.

"...?"Alexander couldn't take his eyes from the afro "...Soma? what do you need? and what is wrong with the afro?" he spoke.

Soma chuckled and tapped on his forehead "Yaa~ this is the worst, I have gone and done it now. I completely lost." Soma said with a smile.

"You lost? who was your opponent? And what's with the afro?" Alexander spoke before putting his map in his pocket.

"It was big brother Asahi, man. He was so tough!!" Soma become so pissed remembering the way he lost

"Hm? Asahi?..." Alexander recalled the one time he fought Asahi in the kitchen and how good he was for his age, he wasn't that surprised when Soma said he lost to him, Asahi is a veteran and has worked in numerous places, from 5 stars restaurants to the worst and most dangerous Noir chef tournament "...Well, it sucks that you lost but now you know that there is another man stronger than you, so you must work harder to improve...Or give up. And like I said; what's with the afro?"

"Give up?! hell nah!! I am just starting!! just you wait, Asahi!!" Soma shouted with his hands and head up in the sky making his afro fall down "Ah! this won't do." He picked it up and put it on again "That will do." He said.

Alexander's mouth started opening slowly from the wears feeling he is getting "...Great! that how it should be...And what the fuck is with the afro?" he said.

"What are you doing here anyway, brother, I presume you won your match?" Soma sighed with distress. It is good to win...His feeling are in turmoil now. He is kind of happy that he got to broaden his horizon once more, but also it sucks to lose...very much.

"Yes. I did, I was against Alice, she lost...I will say this one last time...What's with the afro?"

Soma started shifting his eyes with embarrassment, he reached for the afro and grabbed it tightly "...It was a bet. If I lost I would wear an afro until the end of this year."

Alexander snorted as he barely could suppress his laughter.

"Don"t laugh!!" Soma shouted.

"Ahahaha!!" Soma's expression was like laughing drugs for Alexander, he couldn't help it. That's so dumb!! he thought

"Enough, I am leaving!!! keep laughing, someday you will feel the same!!" Soma left with frustration to his room.

"Kahaha~ Oh! man..." Alexander shook his head and continued walking "But... if Asahi was against Soma then he wasn't the reason behind Erina's bad mood...Guess he slipped with his flesh intact today again." Alexander said.

Alexander then just started walking aimlessly in hopes of just pumping into Erina. He walked upstairs to the fourth floor. At this point, he has already given up on finding her so he just decided that he will ask her tomorrow as soon as he meets her.

"It was you wasn't it?" Once Alexander passed by a certain room, he heard Erina's pissed off voice. He quickly stuck his body to the door and started Eavesdropping.

"My block...you rewrote the fights, didn't you?" Erina spoke. Inside the room, she was standing with her arms crossed in front of a screen wall that only shows the black silhouette of the person inside.

From behind the screen wall, a very feminine and pride-filled voice of a woman resounded "And who else would it be? this is my tournament, you play with my rules." The woman said. "I did what was necessary to ensure only the most deserving to fulfill my wishes be able to survive, nothing more, nothing less."

Erina's eyes narrowed with sadness and anger "I see...You have been selecting fights to ensure those with no superhuman cooking skills get cleansed and washed out of the BLUE and only the ones that possess those skills to remain..." Erina scuffed at her as she saw through her plan "You don't actually care about Light or Dark chefs, you only care about the Superhuman cooking skills chefs...However...Among those Superhuman skills, the only skill you don't desire and have no need for is God's Tongue, isn't that right....Mother?!" Erina smirked.

Alexander covered his mouth "Eh?! So scandalous!!" he thought "A mother and daughter fight!!" he said.

"Eh? I never know they were a mother and daughter?" From behind Alexander, a girl's voice responded in his ear. Alexander snapped his neck to see who it was.

"Hello!~It's your lovely Anne-senpai!" Anne, first-class examiner, and the book master personal servant spoke.

"You're not my senpai." Alexander pushed her off him slowly "Anyway let's continue listening!" Not even caring about her, Alexander inviting her to join him into Eveasedropping. Anne chucked as she joined him per his offer.

The room went silent for a moment before the screen slowly raised up to reveal the pinnacle of Japanese beauty, a honey blonde woman with small eyebrows, purple eyes, pale skin mostly due to her health condition and a very beautiful red yukata with fire ornament.

This is Nakiri Mana, Erina's birth mother and the first holder of God's Tongue before Erina.

"You really have no manners, first thing you do after seeing your mother you start asking, where is my greeting?" Mana smiled and said.

"Ask for that when you start showing your face more often." Erina retorted harshly making Mana frown at her.

Mana slapped her fan closed and looked at Erina with a cold gaze "I will take this as your teenage rebellion phase..."

"Answer my question," Erina demanded.

"There is no need for that." Mana retorted.

"..." Erina scowled at her before continuing "...Fine, stay silent as you have been for 17 years...But just to make sure, whatever you throw at me, I will crush it. I, Nakiri Erina, the true holder of God's Tongue will take control over this tournament." With that, Erina turned to leaven she opened the door to leave.

Just as she was about to step out, she noticed Alexander and Anne with each other crouching like frogs not moving like a frozen statue.

"Stay still. she may not see us if we don't move." Alexander whispered slowly to Anne.

Erina sighed and didn't mind them, she left with long strides of frustration.

Just as they were in the clear, Mana's spoke to them "Come in you two, I can see you there." She said.

Anne and Alexander sighed and stood up entering the room.

"Hello there, Son of Alexandra." Mana opened her fan and covered her face "I see you have grown a lot since the last time I have seen you."

Alexander tilted his head "I've never met you before." he said.

"Of course not. At that time your mother was changing your shit while you were asleep." Mana chuckled while speaking. Alexander's face turned red with embarrassment.

"I have heard that you intend to marry my daughter after graduation?" she asked.

"It is a long story." He responded.

"Oh! We have until morning." Mana said "Oh! Anne, be a good girl and bring my guest here some tea to drink."

"Now.." Mana smiled "Care to speak with me for a while?"
